Doug Hellmann c7bfdbb44f split install guide into separate files by OS
Provide a script for interpreting the "only" directives and splitting
the existing content up into standalone files for each OS to make it
easier for project teams to copy the parts they need into their own
project documentation trees without requiring separate platform builds.

The files have been hand-edited to pass the niceness check and to allow
the install guide to build.

The script for building the guide has been changed to not build separate
copies per OS.

Networking Option 1: Provider networks

Configure the Networking components on a compute node.

Configure the Linux bridge agent

The Linux bridge agent builds layer-2 (bridging and switching) virtual networking infrastructure for instances and handles security groups.

  • Edit the /etc/neutron/plugins/ml2/linuxbridge_agent.ini file and complete the following actions:
    • In the [linux_bridge] section, map the provider virtual network to the provider physical network interface:

      [linux_bridge]
      physical_interface_mappings = provider:PROVIDER_INTERFACE_NAME

      Replace PROVIDER_INTERFACE_NAME with the name of the underlying provider physical network interface. See environment-networking for more information.

    • In the [vxlan] section, disable VXLAN overlay networks:

      [vxlan]
      enable_vxlan = false
    • In the [securitygroup] section, enable security groups and configure the Linux bridge iptables firewall driver:

      [securitygroup]
      # ...
      enable_security_group = true
      firewall_driver = neutron.agent.linux.iptables_firewall.IptablesFirewallDriver
